Small Fires
 
  • Fire Sound Effects Small Fires Play Track 46 sounds included, 43 mins mins total $40

    This library was made for the small stuff.  I have always had a hard time finding small fire sounds.  I work mostly in games, and trying to find a small fireplace sound, or torches on the wall in a castle, or perhaps a candle or oil lamp sound, are impossible to find in commercial libraries!  I've always been unhappy with what I had to make for those elements.  So, I went to work getting small and delicate fire sounds.

    It took multiple field recording trips using a variety of different materials to find the best small fire sounds.  Finally, after a lot of hard work (and smoke to the lungs), here is the Small Fire SFX Library!

    • Small fires with a variety of different materials including cloth, cotton, hand sanitizer, a multitude of different woods, Vaseline, and pure alcohol
    • 1.22 Gigs, 43+ mins, 46 files
    • Stereo & Mono 96Khz, 24bit
    • Metadata included for programs like Soundminer

'Small Fires' is a library born out of necessity. Noticing the lack of fire sounds for very common sources in games - castle torches, candles, oil lamps, fireplaces; you know, the things that give an environment life! - The Sound Keeper decided to make his own collection and share it with us. These small, delicate fire sounds are perfect for the items described above as well as campfires, burning cloth and money, and even the blue blaze of hand sanitizer. As usual, these sounds come in 96kHz and include Soundminer data. For over 40 minutes of flames to enhance your scene, check this one out.

  • Animal Sound Effects Animal Hyperrealism Vol III Play Track 1711 sounds included $170

    Animal Hyperrealism Vol III is a library containing sounds themed animal vocalisations, from real to designed creatures totaling more than 1700 individual sounds in 279 files.

    The sounds were recorded in zoos and wildlife centers. The asset list includes but is not limited to: european red deers, monkeys, reindeers, hornbills camels, crickets, tamarins, boars, frogs, red ruffed lemurs, parrots, and many more.

    The content has been recorded at 192KHz with a Sanken CO100K plus a Sennheiser 8050 for center image and a couple of Sennheiser MKH8040 for stereo image.
    Part of the cheats section of the library features samples recorded at 384KHz. For these sounds an additional microphone was employed, specifically the CMPA by Avisoft-Bioacoustics which records up to 200 KHz. This microphone was used to record most of the library but the 384KHz format was preserved only where energy was found beyond 96KHz not to occupy unnecessary disk space.
    All files are delivered as stereo bounce of these for mics, though in some instances an additional couple of CO100K was added to the sides.
    The resulting ultrasonic spectrum is rich and allows for truly extreme manipulation of the content.

    Bonus: Two extra libraries included for free:
     This library also includes two additional releases from Mattia Cellotto - for free: Crunch Mode delivers 230 crunchy sounds made with a variety of vegetables, fresh bread, pizza crust and a selection of frozen goods. The Borax Experiment gets you 158 squishy, gory, slimy and gooey sounds.
